Fraud Exposed: Millions Misused for Homeless Funds | Wilmington News

Federal agents just shattered a massive fraud ring stealing millions meant for homeless Californians—turning taxpayer dollars into luxury vacations, nightclubs, and vintage cars. Michael Young, founder of Home At Last, allegedly embezzled $118 million, including $75 million from LA’s homeless services, using shell companies and fake invoices. He’s accused of spending over a million on a nightclub, $50K on Tahiti, and $140K on a classic car. Meanwhile, Lakiya Malone was arrested for accepting $180K in bribes to steer clients—and faking their services. Alexander Soofer, already guilty, funneled $23 million into personal pockets and businesses. And fugitive Donye Mitchell allegedly used $1.2 million for bail and credit cards. Authorities are warning: if you know something, speak up—more doors are about to open.
